DV2018 Selectees from Ghana

Getting ready for interview in first week of March. So far all Civil documents are in order and sharp photocopies made of them. Will start police clearance next week and start medicals by Valentine’s Day. Family of 5. Exciting but daunting. Leaving nothing to chance. Hope all current applicants are preparing feverishly too. Good luck folks!

I called AKAI House Clinic today. The fees are as follows:
Children under 6-GHS 918 each
8 year old child- GHS 1130 each.
Adults- GHS 1768 each.
Note that these are based on the ages of my children so I can’t say it’s a general fee.
I therefore need to cough up GHS 6502 for the medical for the whole family.
It is a necessary expense though.

When do you expect the results? Planning ours for Wednesday as the missus (PA) won’t be free till then.
 
Oh wow...then Akai House seems cheaper compared to Holy Trinity. I checked with Holy Trinity as Nana Kofi advised sometime back, and these are their charges:
Adult (15 years and above) - 1,860 (including Gonorrhea Test)
Minor (14 years and below) - 1,200
Minor (0 - 11 Months) - 500

The adult fee at Akai, does it include Gonorrhea test?

The fees are for everything
 
My wife (PA) has her official SSCE results issued by wAEC and sent to her School and signed by the headmistress back in 2000 for her 1999 SSCE. She then wrote the NOV DEC in 2000 to upgrade her mathematics which was successful. My question folks, is it enough to submit these originals as proof of her educational qualifications or we are still required to obtain confirmation of results from WAEC? She also has a signed and sealed testimonial or attestation letter from her school. I just don’t wanna leave any areas open to the dreaded AP. I figure we need to prove the SSS qualification beyond any reasonable doubt especially since she doesn’t have her Bachelors Degree from Uni even though she completed her bachelors degree course (she has the transcripts from Legon) but the certificate itself is outstanding because of administrative errors caused by the Uni on her transcripts. Interestingly her name was published in the graduation booklet back in 2005.
Am I being paranoid? ;) @Nana Kofi @Britsimon @Dunamis @Sm1smom

Yes, you need to obtain confirmation of results from WAEC in addition to what you already have:

You are strongly encouraged to verify these documents at source, through the West African Examinations Council’s online system at www.ghana.waecdirect.org. The student provides you with a PIN number that they purchase for the equivalent of $3 (available at post offices or WAEC regional offices), that is used to retrieve a printable copy of their WAEC results. This is the fastest and most reliable way of verifying a student’s results from Ghana. All results from all WAEC exams dating back to 1993 can be verified through WAECDirect.

As an aside, I find it strange your wife is unable to obtain her college certificate 13 years after graduation due to administrative errors on the school’s side.

Yea, we’ve had our own arguments about it. She’s managed to get employment without it though (currently runs a start up company). Luckily we have a friend who’s helping her to trace the errors. (They gave her grades in courses she never took). Hopefully she’ll finally get it before we leave. Thanks for the help!
